WOYWW.....

Hello all. Here we are at yet another Wednesday catch up with work desks all round the world hosted by Julia, our Queen of snoop. Do click on the link if you don't know what I'm talking about and Julia will tell you more. I'm sure you are, like me, in that we hope Julia is still continuing well with her recovery and her partner in crime, Jan is enjoying packing her boxes ready for her house move.

So, what have I got on my desk today? Well, it's this....

I have now finished my eye spy quilt and thought those of you who haven't seen it over on my Sewing by Annie Facebook page might like to see the finished quilt....now all I need is a visit from my little munchkins to put it to the test :-)

Since last week I have had a busy time with customers sewing and have...

Shortened sleeves on a jacket

Shortened several pairs of trousers

Repaired the zip on a pair of gent's trousers

Tapered the legs on two pair of gent's shorts

Put a new zip in a waterproof coat and

Put a new zip in a pair of jeans

I'm sure you don't want to see pics of all the boring sewing but it's enough to say I'm being kept busy.
The only other pic I have to show you today is one for the Milly Fan club.....she would like to send you all lots of love...

.....quite literally. Just look at the markings on the left side of her body. Our son, Mark managed to snap this pic of her and what we could see in her markings really made us smile.....I'm sure you will all see the heart on her side. :-)

I told her she had come to us at just the right time, was full of love and really made us smile....now this just proves it. :-)

I hope that has made you all smile today and you will leave me a little message to let me know you've called by. I promise I will do my best to pay you a return visit as soon as I can.

D'awww, Milly really did come at the right time - unconditional love just helps :-)Your lovely little quilt inspired me, I didn't feel like making much this week but I got a charm pack out and have enjoyed just mucking around with that. As for packing boxes, we've made a start but are quite relaxed about it all!Hugs, LLJ 3 xxx

The quilt is fabulous - such a brilliant idea and your extensive fabric stash was just perfect for this task! I love Milly's heart shaped markings on her side. Must bring Ben round to see her. Happy crafting, Max :-) xx

Oh Annie, little Milly is a Love! and she seems to get bigger every time I see her and yes I can see the heart too. Lovely quilt and pleased to see you are keeping busy. Thanks for the visit to mine and happy woyww, Angela x 14

Wow, you ARE busy! I love quilts, although I can't sew a lick! This is so pretty and I hope your little ones will love it! What a cute pic of Milly and her wonderful markings! How awesome is that??? Too cute! Have a wonderful rest of the day and week! Blessings, Felicia #37

How strange in the loveliest of ways, to see that heart on Millie's side. Just what you need.Great sewing as always Annie and I have found another pair of trousers for me to bring down for altering.

About Me

I am a mother of 3, nanny to 3 beautiful granddaughters and 3 gorgeous grandsons and lived in a little village in Shropshire until August 2014 when we moved to a little bungalow in Shrewsbury and nearer to our gorgeous family. Although a nurse and midwife by trade, after a career break to bring up my children and 16 years of child minding [my own 3 and 35 extra little darlings] I have retrained as a tailoress and now run a very successful sewing business from home.

You've been warned

Brilliant quote for life

There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama and the people who create it, and surround yourself with people who make you laugh so hard you forget the bad, and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy
